Saint Peter's edged out VMI Keydets 2-1 in a tightly contested match on Saturday, handing the Keydets their second straight loss.
The opening period ended goalless, with both sides trading chances but failing to break the deadlock.
The deadlock was finally broken in the 59th minute when Saint Peter's earned a penalty, and the resulting spot‑kick found the net to put the Peacocks ahead.
Midway through the second half, Yeirin Mejia added his fourth goal of the season, slotting a well‑timed finish after a pass from Jesse Lee that left the VMI defense scrambling.
Just ten minutes later, a second strike sealed the victory for Saint Peter's, as a late surge saw the ball hit the back of the net in the 87th minute, confirming a 2‑1 result.
